Tunay na mundo

ni: Almae R. Solaiman

 

Nasisilayan mo ang ganda ng paligid

Anyo at kagandahan nito

Hindi ipinagkait sa iyo

Ngunit bakit mo inaabuso?

 

Mapalad kang isinilang na ganyan

Subalit ika'y mapang-abuso sa kapaligiran

Hindi ka ba nababahala, kaibigan?

Ika'y may mata ngunit nagbubulag-bulagan

 

Masayang makita ang ganda ng mundo

Kung ang mali ay naiiwasto

Malaya mong nakikita ang liwanag

Subalit ika'y parang isang bulag

 

Nasasabi mo man nais mong sabihin

Sigaw ng paligid, hindi mo pinapansin

Mundo'y lumuluha aking kaibigan

Boses mo'y gamitin upang sila ay mapangalagaan

 

Magandang kausap ang mga halaman

Kung ang mga salita mo'y marunong makiusap

Ang biyaya ay malaya mong nalalasap

Ngunit sa pang-aabuso mo'y mayroon pa kayang hinaharap?

 

Simoy ng hangin ay dumaraing

bakit hindi mo sila naririnig?

Awit ng mga ibon ay may nais ipabatid

Subalit ayaw mo silang pakinggan

 

Hindi ka ba nababahala, kaibigan?

Mapalad ka ngang isinilang na ganyan

Subalit ni isa sa paligid ayaw mong hagkan

Hindi bingi ngunit makasalanan

 

Masayang marinig ang agos ng tubig

Kung ang iyong tainga'y nakikinig

Mapalad ka na ang biyaya'y naibubulong sa iyo 

Subalit ika'y bingi sa daing ng mundo

 

Wag kang mabahala, kaibigan

Hindi ka nalalayo sa hikbi ng mundo

Hindi ka man bulag, pipi at bingi

Tanging hangad ng mundo ay pag-ibig mula sa iyo. 

 

Real World 
Ms. Almae Solaiman 
 
You can see the beauty of the surroundings, 
Its form and beauty 
You are not denied, 
But why do you abuse? 
 
You are lucky to be born like that, 
But you are abusive to the environment, 
Aren't you worried, friend? 
You have eyes but you are blind! 
 
It's nice to see the beauty of the world! 
If the wrong is corrected 
You see the light freely, 
But you are like a blind man. 
 
You can say whatever you want to say, 
Shouting around, you ignore it! 
The world is in tears my friend, 
Use your voice to protect them. 
 
Plants are good conversationalists, 
If your words know how to plead 
Grace is freely tasted by you, 
But with your abuse, is there still a future? 
 
A breeze wails, 
why don't you hear them? 
The song of the birds has something to say, 
But you don't want to listen to them. 
 
Aren't you worried, friend? 
You are lucky to be born like that, 
But you don't want to kiss anyone around 
Not deaf but sinful 
 
It's nice to hear the flow of water, 
If your ear listens 
You are blessed that grace is whispered to you,  
But you are deaf to the cries of the world. 
 
Don't worry, friend! 
You are not far from the sobs of the world, 
You are not blind, dumb, and deaf! 
All the world wants is love from you.
